In their first solo exhibition, Orange, photographers Tanya and Zhenya Posternak scrutinise the act of seeing. Celebrated in fashion and editorial circles for their close-up, soft-focus images, the twin sisters—known for their work with Alaïa, Loewe, and Pop Magazine—often position themselves above or below their subjects, capturing the full scope of the scene.

In these times of sensorial overload, algorithmic and encoded bias, and predictive analytics determined by suits in boardrooms, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons turn to what American cultural critic Susan Sontag termed a ‘flight from interpretation.’Before the collection, a quick note on the primal notion: in circa 300 BCE, Greek philosopher Plato introduced the example of a pre-textual person, unaware of what exists outside of the cave: their hermetic environment.

In James Barth's works, we witness a conflict. Awash in cold metal and the sweat of decaying plant matter, The Clumped Spirit begs the question: Where is the line distinguishing representation and personality? On exhibit at the Institute of Modern Art until December 22, Barth dissolves the roles of identity and representation. After training as a self-portraitist at the Queensland College of Art, Barth quickly shed the traditional paradigms of the painting discipline.

0 $0.00 0 items Alessandro Michele’s first collection for Valentino was keenly anticipated and worth the wait. The former creative director of Gucci brought his maximalist sensibility to his new home in a collection that foregrounded spontaneity and surprise. It was a show that thought deeply about the history of Valentino’s garments as well as the purpose of art itself. If these seem like weighty ambitions, they did nothing to mar a sense of frivolity and pleasure.

Hedi Slimane is concerned with the theatrical aspect of fashion. He is fascinated by how a garment can be manipulated—pushed, pulled, and positioned—until it becomes more than just seams, cloth, or fabric. Until it transforms into an image, an idea. Slimane's focus on fashion as theatre is so strong that throughout his latest men's fall/winter film for Celine, I forgot I was watching a fashion show.

0 $0.00 0 items DAY ONE: DIESELIf I were making a high-fashion reboot of Monster High (bear with me here), I would be dressing the character Clawdeen Wolf exclusively in Diesel. Milan Day One was off roaring with Diesel’s bigger-is-better silhouettes, eerily coloured contacts, subtle plaids giving way to sheer panelling, floral and leopard print scrapping, distressing, and of course, plenty of leather and denim.
